Detecting coarse beach sediment using remotely sensed imagery at the FRF, Duck, NC, USA: Labeled images, deep learning model, testing data, and predictions.

This data record contains 5 zip files all used to build and use a semantic segmentation model to operate on beach imagery taken at the Field Research Facility (FRF) in Duck, North Carolina, USA.  All data is from 2015-2021

The `training_data.zip` contains all data used to train the ML model. All images come from the north facing (c1) camera. This zip file includes: a list of classes used to label the imagery, and folders of 107 images, 107 sparse annotations (doodles), 107 labels, and 107 overlays. All labeling was done with the open-source labeling tool ‘Doodler (Buscombe et al., 2021).

The `model.zip` file contains the ML model, and associated metadata. This includes: a JSON model configuration file, a figure showing model training statistics, an `.npz` file of model training output, a list of training and validation files, the model as an h5 file and in the Tensorflow ‘saved model’ format.  All modeling was done with Segmentation Gym (Buscombe & Goldstein 2022).

The `test_data_c6.zip` file contains all data from the south facing (c6) camera to test the ML model. This includes: a list of classes used to label the imagery, and folders of 10 images, 10 sparse annotations (doodles), 10 labels, and 10 overlays.  All labeling was done with the open-source labeling tool ‘Doodler (Buscombe et al., 2021). Testing the model with this data was done with codes in: https://github.com/ebgoldstein/FRF_GrainSize

The `test_data_c1.zip` file contains all data from the north facing (c1) camera to test the ML model. This includes: a list of classes used to label the imagery, and folders of 10 images, 10 sparse annotations (doodles), 10 labels, and 10 overlays.  All labeling was done with an open-source labeling tool ‘Doodler (Buscombe et al., 2021). Testing the model with this data was done with codes in: https://github.com/ebgoldstein/FRF_GrainSize

The `predictions.zip` file contains 4418 images from the north facing (c1) camera that were run through the trained segmentation model as well as the resulting output (presented as side-by-side image and overlays). These images were created using codes in Segmentation Gym (Buscombe & Goldstein 2022).
